Convergence of the Q-learning on the inverted pendulum
Hello I'm working on a total control of the cartpole problem (inverted pendulum). My aim is for the system to reach stability meaning all the states(x, xdot,theta and theta) should converge to zero. I am using q-learning with a reward function as…

Neural network - loss not converging
This network contains an input layer and an output layer, with no nonlinearities. The output is just a linear combination of the input.I am using a regression loss to train the network. I generated some random 1D test data according to a simple…

Can Python optimize my function inputs to get a target value?
I have been trying to locate a method similar to Excel's Solver where I can target a specific value for a function to converge on. I do not want a minimum or maximum optimization.
For example, if my function is:
f(x) = A^2 + cos(B) - sqrt(C)
I…

Constructing a Sparse Tropical Limit Function in Chapel
Given matrices A and B the tropical product is defined to be the usual matrix product with multiplication traded out for addition and addition traded out for minimum. That is, it returns a new matrix C such that,
C_ij = minimum(A_ij, B_ij, A_i1 +…

embedded vectors doesn't converge in gensim
I am training a word2vec model using gensim on 800k browser useragent. My dictionary size is between 300 and 1000 depending on the word frequency limit.
I am looking at few embedding vectors and similarities to see if the algorithm has been…

How to detect cycles in a vector in R
Let's say I have the following vector:
vec = c(29, 30, 15, 29, 17, 25, 24, 28, 25, 24, 28, 25, 24, 28, 25, 24, 28)
You'll notice there are three repeating elements (25, 24, and 28). How can I get R to recognize when there are repeating elements (or…

XGBoost Convergence Plot with Sklearn Wrapper
I am using the sklearn wrapper for xgboost. I would like to generate a plot of AUC for both my train and test samples for each iteration as shown in the plot below.
In sklearn you can use warm_start to iterate one at a time so you can easily stop…

Repeated search replace until convergence
I'm searching for the name and an efficient solution for the following problem: Assume I have a string s='abcdef' and a set of find/replace rules Pn
P1: ab -> xy
P2: xyc -> 123
P3: ef -> ab
Sequentially applying these rules to s I could arrive at…

Genetic Algorithm - convergence
I have a few questions about my genetic algorithm and GAs overall.
I have created a GA that when given points to a curve it tries to figure out what function produced this curve.
An example is the following
Points

Convergence rate in R
I have simulated some sample paths S_n=sum(X_i), where the X_i are simulated having different distributions.
I then look at the proportion of the times where S_n is positive. Where n is the length of the sample path, and I have simulated a large…
